black widow

tombstone rooted weeds are planted by the lonely.
we, ones who inhabit grass and ground.
dragging the bodies fettered to our feet, we stumbled into a puddle and made it our sea.

but, my love, you erred upon assumption that i am human.
you're my muscles affliction.
my toxic epidemic.

my sole antidote.

these robotic fingers will sew my love into your skin and inject the shrapnel of my heart.
resist embrace of my eyes – razored glass compost.
eyelashes clasp like lacerating teeth.

i'm a black widow.

when the sun rains

nightmares feast as i'm half alive.

my eyes' detached veins snake before they ride through glassy teeth.

enamel sloughs away like noodles.

illegitimacies of molested sun fall, festering between my every rib.

they dissemble my mind's chords and let my body writhe.

haunted gaps of gray between black trees gracefully sway me into the sky's boiling mire.

and when the sun rains......
